Right.

Just like all the other footballers with gambling problems, somehow they had restraint only when it came to betting on footy.

You would have to believe him wouldn't you. Not.

Why does it even matter. The poor guy has a gambling problem and we look for even worse things. What is wrong with some people?

Dug problem, alcohol problem, gambling problem, all self inflicted. I have sympathy for his family though.

I don't believe for one minute that he didn't bet on football. You can believe what you like,

As I said, I have no love for the guy. Absolute thug who did the wrong thing by the Saints. Harsh, maybe, but it is a harsh world.

Its a sickness. Its an addiction. You obviously don't understand. I hope no family or friends of yours has that issue. Sounds like you will just burn them. And I don't care if he bet on footy. I do care about people with these issues. Unlike you my family and friends aren't perfect. By the way What did he do wrong to the saints? That's a strange comment. Consistent though.

Pathetic comment, shows your compassion to you fellow human beings.

Often times people slip or fall through depression, desperation, or simply loosing sight of where they exist in the world, or whats important to themselves,friends and family. Each individual could tell you an individual reason, however none of them would say I hope saynta feels sorry for us.

Perhaps one day when one of your family members, your children or your grandchildren, brothers, sisters, or a good friends falls through the cracks you will change your opinion. I doubt you'll say the above, of course you may be one that says who cares it was self inflicted.

Is this post serious? Thug? Did wrong by the Saints?

What did Goo do that was thuggish? The bump on Ling is the only thing that comes to mind...it was a corker of a hit!

He never did anything wrong by the club, just fell out of form and fell out with the coach. He was delisted, he didn't walk out.

So in between accusing your club of willfully tanking without any evidence and despite all reason to the contrary, accusing other posters of not watching a game before and after they'd posted a photograph of their TV showing it, and potting a player who represented the Saints with distinction and who has a serious gambling problem because he had the nerve to get delisted, what do you do with yourself Saynta?

funny I never got the sense that Guerra wasn't fully putting in while he was with us. What makes you think otherwise, BB?

Your last comment is more than pathetic, it's offensive, I wouldn't wish harm on any of your family members but you apparently do to mine.

Are you denying that he is a thug and did the wrong thing by the saints? Because he is and he did,hence my dislike. That should not be taken as a complete lack of compassion for my fellow man ,only for Guerra.

I think if you go back to previous interviews with Guerra, he admits himself that he did the wrong thing by the saints and was out on the piss when he should not have been.
His last game for the saints was disgraceful and at the time a number of us at the footy commented that he should never play for the saints again, and evidently the club felt the same.

I don't think anyone who has any history of watching his games wouldn't be of the view that he was a sniper as evidenced by coming off the square and flattening Ling. That wasn't an isolated incident

Anyone who believes that an admitted addict will pick and choose when and when not to indulge in their addiction is living in a different world to me.

Another smartarse comment directed at the poster and not the subject matter.

Anyway, I have just come back from my gym. I can assure you that there is not much love for Guerra out in the real world. I won't bore any of you with the comments but will say that they were all a lot more unkinder than my comments.

It isn't a smart arse comment at all. I just wanted to see if you could understand what addicts do and don't do. I have some first hand experience or is it second hand. Its not me anyway but a very close friend. Most at our footy club think he is just like all other addicts. he has a sickness that most don't understand. Looks like your gym is different to our footy club. And our footy club is in the real world as well.

If any AFL player bets on the footy that's a seperate issue to gambling addiction.

If it's banned for players to bet on the footy and they do I have zero sympathy for their cause.
